Folders made in Hotmail account doesn't show up unlike folders from Yahoo

Hello everyone. I have different folders I created in my Yahoo account to help keep my inbox clean. Every folder I have created in Yahoo shows up in my iPhone. I created similar folders in Hotmail but they don't show up in my iPhone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A Hotmail account can be accessed as a POP account, and this isn't supported with a POP account.
This is supported with an IMAP account and you are accessing your Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • Account doesn't show up in system preferences

    In an attempt to override my master password, I started my computer in single user mode, typed /sh/mount -uw / and passwd, and then entered a new password. However, this created a new account called System Administrator on my computer that shows up in the login menu as "Other…". I want to delete this account, but when I log in to my usual account, the System Administrator account doesn't show up in System Preferences. Can anyone tell me how to delete this account?
    (Btw, any tips on how to find out what the password is for the root user would be helpful. From my normal account, the new password I entered doesn't work for root, although it does in the System Administrator account.)
    Thank you!

    Hoping that we are on the same page., but sounds like what you did was enable the root user.
    Its a user that will not be seen in system preferences and should never be gotten rid of (its great for troubleshooting).
    The root user or (system administrator) is different from a User account with Administrator access.

  • HT4796 "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as option to choose to migrate from XP

    I am attempting to migrate files from a WinXP computer to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. Almost all files transferred successfully, but it doesn't appear that the Outlook email transferred. In fact "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as an option to choose in the migration screen. I have done the migration successfully to three other computers, but they were running Lion. Any ideas?

    Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

  • I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer.  Is there a time limit?  I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

    Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
    If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
    If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

  • Unable to open any folders in my HOTMAIL ACCOUNT inspite of logging in it

    I am able to log in to my HOTMAIL ACCOUNT, from the mozilla firefox. But unable to open or read or forward or delete any of the emails from the inbox and all the other folders. It seems there is a problem on the mozilla and not the hotmail account. Appreciate your quick help to access the emails.
    thanks

    Try deleting and re-adding the email account.

    I don't believe that can be done.  The only way I know of to replicate your folders on Hotmail is to create them there, then forward your email to Hotmail.  But you would have to forward existing mail one message at a time which would be tedious if you have a lot.

  • New personal mail account doesn't show up in 'Mail' iPhone 4 - 7.1.2

    I've just bought an iPhone 4.
    I've created a new mail account and the mail icon shows 3 messages.
    Touching the 'mail' icon brings up the usual list of mail services but my new account doesn't appear.
    In 'Settings' my new account is there.
    Why doesn't it show up in the 'Mail' list?
    I just can't find out how to access/use this account - the user manual is no help.
    Help appreciated
    David

    Additional info.
    The new account is a personal account in my own domain.
    'Mail' obviously recognises it as it shows the 3 messages

  • Account doesn't show up, passwords changed

    I have an interesting problem here. I was changing my password through the install disk method (don't ask why), so I put in the OS X install disk 1, booted from the disk, opened up "password reset" or whatever the utility is, and changed the password of one of the accounts on my computer. I then shut off my computer and then turned it back on. At the login screen, the account whose password I changed no longer shows up as a user. I can log into other accounts, but I can't log into the one. From other accounts, I see that my home folder is still there, and all the files still in it, but it doesn't show up as a user. Also, my admin passwords don't work, so I can't do the things with Disk Utility that I want to. To make things even more complicated, my "Accounts" preference pane is completely blank, so I can't edit accounts from there. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • If I try to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox, Hotmail says my Hotmail account doesn't exist, while I can problemlessly log in in other browsers

    When I open Hotmail in Firefox and try to log in, Hotmail says my account doesn't exist. But I can problemlessly log in in other browsers, so I'm sure there's no problem with my account. Further, I'm absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything. Before this problem occured, I've always been able to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox. I've already tried clearing my cookies and history, but it still doesn't work.

    Do you have stored any form fill data or passwords for live.login.com?

  • Contents in folders of my hotmail account

    I set up my hotmail account in ipad and I can see the folders and subfolders under my hotmail account.
    But....there is no content in each of them.
    In other words, I cannot locate the previous emails I saved in those folders previously.
    Pls advise. Thanks.

    Hi Helen,
    Unfortunately hotmail does not support imap or pop3 connections via the mail.app. Therefore at the moment you have to read your hotmail via safari.
    However, saying the above, you can access your hotmail account via the mail.app on your iPhone by using the following service at http://v3.izymail.com/ (this costs about $18 per year)
    Hope that helps

  • My mates Hotmail account doesn't see my e-mails

    My mate has a hotmail account and over the last year or so he does not get emails from me sent from my bt account. 
    I started sending him emails from my works email address and he gets these no problem including attachments.
    He lives 30 miles away and is not very computer literate so before I try and explainto him how to view his settings and try and make changes, I wondered if anyone else has come across this problem.
    I do not get a return message telling that there is a delivery failure so I assume he is receiving them, just not seeing them in his inbox. I have spoken to him about the spam folder but he tells me there are no emails from me in there either.
    Any help / advice to point me in the rigyt direction would be helpful
